| The
great Himalayas of Nepal are well known as one of the best destinations
in the world for enjoying the real beauty of the nature. Trekking along
the trails into the interior parts of the country will lead you to
ancient foot trails that you will always remember for the scenic
river-banks, terraced fields, forested ranges and mountain villages. Trekkers
may walk along the rough but beautiful trails in the lap of green and
friendly looking hills. You will be impressed by the rhododendron
filled green dark and deep forests with different seasonal flowers
blossoming, domestic and forest animals, varieties of birds,
monasteries, temples, mountain landscapes and the warm greetings from
smiling local people. |

| Everest
Base Camp Trek (27 days) |
The highest mountain in the
world, Everest, is also known as
Chomolungma (Sherpa/Tibetan name) and Sagarmatha (Nepalese name).
Everest has been named after Sir George Everest (the British Surveyor
General of India) at the time when the mountain was first identified as
'Point XV' on the border with Nepal and Tibet.
Our trail goes
through the traditional expedition route passing famous Thyangboche
Monastery, Namche Bazaar and the simple peak just beside Base Camp -
'Kalapathar' (18,193 ft). Though we have named it Everest Base Camp
trek we do not take people there - the reason is very simple: the best
view of Everest is available from the Kala Pattar itself. And a visit
to the Base camp depends highly on weather (snow!) conditions.
